Jack Black Is Heading Back to ‘School’

White, Linklater Held Back Too: As recently revealed by Mike White, Paramount is developing a sequel to School of Rock, reuniting the original team — Jack Black starring, Mike White writing, Richard Linklater directing, and Scott Rudin producing. School of Rock 2: America Rocks follows Jack Black as he takes a group of summer-school kids (unfortunately not these summer-school kids) on a road trip where they explore the roots of rock, blues, country, and rap. And obviously they meet up with Kyle Gass at some point. [Variety]

Grazer Invades Iran: Universal has bought Richard Regen's Tehran for Brian Grazer's Imagine Entertainment to produce. Drama follows an American professor living in 1977 pre-coup Iran who works for the U.S. government, reporting back to them on the state of affairs. [Variety]
